The Pirelli Scorpion™ XC RC was designed for what matters in modern XC racing: maximum speed, highest control, and uncompromising performance on challenging terrain. Building on the profile that World Cup riders have trusted for years, the XC RC takes a definitive step forward. Increased volume provides additional control and comfort at high speeds, while the sharper profile enhances handling in technical sections, and the new race rubber compound elevates grip and safety to a new level—even in wet conditions. With a development that allows for 7% more speed compared to its predecessor, this tire gives you a clear advantage—whether on artificial rock gardens or natural trails. At its core is the race compound developed by Pirelli engineers in Italy. This high-performance mixture combines exceptional chemical grip in all conditions with improved mechanical traction and effective puncture protection. Thanks to the single-compound formula, performance remains consistent throughout the tire's lifespan—even with worn tread. From the center to the sidewall, the tire guarantees a smooth, stable ride with precise feedback in every racing situation. Depending on your riding style and usage, you can choose between the ultra-light Light casing for maximum agility or the robust ProWall version with reinforced sidewalls for added stability at low air pressure. Both variants offer top responsiveness and efficiency. The Scorpion™ XC RC is fully manufactured in Italy, is FSC-certified, and combines proven race design with cutting-edge technology. Your next race awaits—and this tire will get you there faster.
